Not a bad area or room. However, the walls were very thin. Our neighbor had his TV on all night.

Staff was friendly. Room was clean. Plenty of parking. Breakfast available which was a nice option. I visited the gym (basically a home gym but great to have access). Did not use the pool but looked clean, safe and inviting. Shower water pressure was fantastic!!

I know there is a hurricane.
We live in an area that is prone to flooding so we didn't wait to be evaluated. We left early. After already being in the hotel for 3 nights the front desk guy rudely tells me is only 2 dogs per room. I apologize and let him know that the other dog was a service dog not a pet. To which he responds then everyone can have 5 service dogs.
